- tartaust
- When the Dwarves of Citadel City arrived, Tartaust was a crumbling ghost town at the feet of the Dragon-headed Mountain. The water was toxic with runoff of old lead mines, and scavenger orcs from the caves beneath sheltered in the ruins. It has been cleaned up and rebuilt considerably to new design, though here and there an old pillar or carved portico was worth saving. Now large Sky Locks extend above the city, awaiting boat traffic that has sailed around the imposing modern fortifications. The water is clean, and food grown on the other side where the soil is also clean is widely traded. A visitors' hostel serves local wine and ale.

- zadan-an-adun Map: Q12 - Rebuilt by Paurgiliath Peacekeepers as Outpost PK#7 in alliance with local tribes. Some rather nasty cannibals ruled the area from the ruins, and the rest of the peoples in the area were delighted to be out from under their yoke. They begged the Peacekeepers to stay, and work with them as local support and auxilliaries. The rebuilding is a mix of original styles adapted to sound defensive practice from Free Imperial standards, and commands the river nicely.
- Norpûl Estuary
- Kadar An Kharadûn
- The modern fortress on this site is IN#40, guarding a harbor and the mouth of the Norpul River. Whatever the Nûmenoreans had once built here, the ruins are no longer evident. The local jungle tribesmen are strongly pro-Empire, welcoming the protection of the Free Imperia Navy from the more warlike city states of Tulwang.
